"Bryson has taken some upper division math courses with me and has helped the Math Department with various side projects in recent months. He is sharp, works hard, and is always very personable and helpful. He's one of the students that the department knows it can depend on and that I always look forward to having in class. All told, he'd make a great employee and coworker!"

"Bryson Seiler is a student at Colorado State University majoring in Mathematics. Although he has not been in a class that I have taught, I have interacted with him through his activities at Math Club and an independent research project. Also, I have observed the posters that he has made for the Department of Mathematics Poster Sessions at the end of each semester. Bryson is able to combine analytical thinking with a creative approach to problem solving. He has taken and done very well in a breadth of courses in mathematics, statistics, and computing. His communication skills, observed at poster sessions, are also superb. Bryson is very friendly and collaborative and gets along well with his fellow students. I recommend him very highly."

"As a student majoring in Applied Mathematics at Colorado State University, Bryson Seiler has shown a great aptitude for applying mathematical theory to real-world problems. In Spring 2017 Bryson took my class Math 435, Projects in Applied Mathematics. Bryson conducted a project on modeling centrality in networks (such as social or transportation networks) using spectral (eigenvalue and eigenvector) techniques. Along the way, Bryson also implemented Dijkstra’s algorithm for shortest graphs, and how to embed graphs in the plane (for the purpose of visualization). Bryson is comfortable using rigorous mathematical tools in real-world data analysis. Furthermore, Bryson is a talented expositor (both in writing and in oral presentation), who is able to clearly explain his ideas to mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike. It was therefore no surprise when Bryson was a poster prize winner for the Fall 2017 Colorado State University Mathematics Poster Session, for his project on 'Dissecting any polygon into a square'."

"In Fall 2016 took my class Math 301, Introduction to Combinatorial Theory. This class is a proof-based introduction to combinatorics, including recurrence relations, generating functions, cryptography, Euler's formula for polyhedra and planar graphs, graph colorings, and minimal spanning trees. This training in proof-based mathematics will serve Bryson well in scientific, engineering, and programming tasks where evidence-based arguments are required."
